"Man can learn nothing unless he proceeds from the known to the unknown." -Claude Bernard
So many people are just so damn afraid to mess up that they never even try. Sitting in my Marine Bio class everyday I'm amazed at the number of kids around me who know the answer but choose not to open their mouths because they're just so afraid of looking like an idiot to their peers. I want so badly to shake them and tell them that they're ridiculous. That by keeping their mouths shut they aren't helping themselves. Just take a chance and take the leap of faith, you may learn something new on the fall.
Science wasn't built by staying within the walls of confinement. Great scientists and writers weren't built by staying in the barrier of the known. People who are great at what they do no matter what it as that they do are the ones who venture into the unknown and aim to make that abyss of unknown the light of the known.
